“Houston, we’re at stable one. The ship is secure. This is Artemis II signing off.”

@MrRugbylane
I dont think anyone get get a sense for how much courage is needed to get on top of one of those rockets until you see a launch in real life

@LanternSawWind
Applause to everyone who worked on this historic mission! To our 4 brave legends who took this leap for humanity: Welcome Home

My prayer is that this goes like clockwork and is as exciting as we space nerds feel!

@gtdude2883
They went to space today about 30 minutes ago. God speed to the crew.

@TheBbod156
I don’t think this mission could’ve possibly went any smoother. That’s some incredible engineering

@loissalumibe2846
From Belgium. I was 14 during the first moon landing and, just like back then, I got up last night to watch the return live. A nostalgic feeling.

@maxvidal-f9m
humanity can achieve such great things when driven by curiosity instead of greed


Artemis II is the first manned mission to the moon in over 50 years. But it's a test flight, laying the groundwork for all the future missions to come. Artemis II will not be a moon landing, but a lunar flyby. In this video, I explain what Artemis II will do, why we're flying it, and who will be the astronauts onboard. We'll talk briefly about the Space Launch System and Orion, the spacecraft for the mission.
